Chapter Nineteenth: Second Brother is That Scallion

  Duling Yue, under the care of Du Fuwei, lived a life free from worries and troubles. However, in an era without entertainment, women with conditions also had high talents! Women like them, apart from martial arts training, poetry and songs about love became an integral part of their lives. Not to mention that they were all skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but for talented scholars who were amazed by their talents, they still had a deep admiration!

  Someone as clever and resourceful as her actually has higher expectations for her future husband! You can be a martial arts master or a learned scholar; you just can't be a useless, idle rich boy!

  In this era, if women were really allowed to choose their own husbands, they would be different from modern women. They only asked for two things: one is talent and the other is appearance! They didn't care much about family background. If you had both talent and good looks, and a good background too, that would be even better! Unlike now, when some men with good backgrounds are still surrounded by a group of women who are eagerly vying for their attention.

  This is an era that emphasizes talent and emotion, and women are more easily attracted to those classic poems that describe beautiful love!

  For Du Lian Yue, Du Fu Wei's overindulgence has made her dare to love and hate, especially since she is now at an age where she is full of curiosity towards the opposite sex!

  He heard that this was a song Li Yuanba only sang to his own wife, and he had already taken a step back, but then he said he would sing it for her, did she dare listen? This is an insult!

  "You dare to sing and I'll dare to listen! But my father is Du Fuwei, do you really dare to sing for me?" Du Lingyue bravely pointed her needle at Mai Mang.

  "Haha... However, your father really dares to tolerate me, the Li family?" Li Yuanba was a bit apprehensive, not for himself, but for possibly becoming someone he didn't dare kill. If things went on like this, Du Fowei would definitely become his father-in-law...

  "How can I not tolerate it? Father listens to me! If I say yes, then it's settled!" Du Lingyue said stubbornly.

  Li Yuanba felt a bit of a pit in his stomach when he heard this. He racked his brains to think of the familiar feeling, and suddenly it dawned on him: "You're running away from marriage?"

  "I...!" Du Lingyue suddenly wilted!

  It's really a feeling of being deceived! Li Yuanba is about to cry tears of joy...

  "Actually... my father didn't want to either! But the other side's power is too great, they want me as a pawn to help my father contend for dominance over the world. I can come out also because of my father's tacit consent......" Du Lingyue's voice gradually lowered. She knew, this was inevitable!

  Both sides fell silent.

  After a while, Du Lingyue's voice was no longer as clear and crisp: "You...do you love your wife very much?"

  "Love? I don't know if it's love, I've only been awake in this world for a few years! You should know some things about me." Li Yuanba's voice was somewhat low and subdued.

  "Hmm, since you were appointed as the Grand General by Yang Guang, there have been some rumors circulating about you. My father has also investigated you..." Du Lingyue responded.

  "Lin, my wife. She passed away last year, and it's been only two years since we met! Before I was 16, I didn't know how to live, but after waking up, although I'm the third son of the Li family, I'm very lonely... Look at me, I'm not ugly, right? Haha, in the past, I didn't even dare to look in the mirror! Now my own family doesn't come to my mansion often, and I value the people close to me! Lin's father was killed, and I bathed "Qianli Jing" in blood, personally killing tens of thousands of people! But my wife still grieved excessively and fell ill... At first, she resisted me a bit, but eventually married me. Later, she slowly accepted me, but... I'm a little resentful of her! She abandoned me for the dead... Holding hands with our child, growing old together! This is what she said to me, but it's like she's mocking me! Do you think I loved her?" Li Yuanba spoke softly about his life, and he was confused about love...

  "Hmm, you love her!" Du Lingyue said with a choked and affirmative tone!

  "Is this what love is?! I've never told anyone about these things, and yet I've told you everything!" At this point, Li Yuanba's eyes became resolute: "Tell me, who did your father promise you to?"

  "You... what do you want to do?" Du Lingyue was startled by Li Yuanba's serious gaze!

  "I'm so happy chatting with you! So, I want to have you by my side from now on! I want to marry you!" Li Yuanba, after going through a series of growth in this world, finally merged with the overbearing aura that people knew as Li Yuanba! And that otaku's rotten aura was gone without a trace, having an aura that swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger!

  "You!? But your family......"

  "It's not a problem, I've got it under control!"

  "My father..."

  "No problem, I'll persuade your father!"

  "But I'm already engaged..."

  "I killed him!"

  "Their family's influence..."

  "It's no problem! Myself and this pair of hammers can kill anyone, no one in the world can stop us, nor does anyone dare to stop us!"

  "I... I... I..."

  "Alright! I'll send someone to your house with betrothal gifts in a few days! Now, let me sing you a song!"

  "Me... Okay, you first tell me where that poem you recited comes from, can you recite the whole thing?"

  "What origin? This is what I wrote, what origin is there! The whole poem... ...just that one sentence!"

  "Impossible! Either recite the whole poem for me or you... Hmph! I'm not happy now!"

  Li Yuanba was scratching his ears and cheeks, humming for half a day, but he couldn't recite it. Just as he was getting anxious, a personal guard rushed in to report: "Third Master, there's someone outside who claims to be Wang Xiongdi and wants to see you with a few people!"

  "Savior!" Li Yuanba was overjoyed and hastily said: "Quickly let them in! It's so embarrassing to make them wait until now!" After finishing speaking, he wanted to rush out.

  "Hmph, the person who's supposed to meet me is here! You're that happy?" Du Lingyue said coldly from the side.

  "What? The one who's supposed to pick you up! Damn it, I'll go kill them!" Li Yuanba was furious, he was about to take the newlywed couple away for their honeymoon. He picked up his big hammer and rushed out.

  Li Yuanba's nonsense has confused all the imperial guards who came to report, what a mess!

  Du Lingyue didn't disappoint, she immediately knew why Li Yuanba was angry! She hastily shouted to the fleeing Li Yuanba: "That's my father's trusted aide, not someone who came to take me away for marriage, it's because my father is worried that I'm in danger with you and wants to take me back home!" Fortunately, this is a world of high martial arts, otherwise Li Yuanba would regret running far away!

  "Haha, you should have said so earlier! Bring the guest to the main hall, we'll be right there, hurry up!" Li Yuanba quickly shooed away his personal guard, this blind light bulb!

  Xiu Zui asked for forgiveness and calmed down Du Lingyue, who was just thinking of going to see Du Fowei's confidant with her. Just then, the personal guard who had just gone to receive someone came running back!

  Breathlessly reported: "Third Master is in trouble! Second Master led people to capture those few, saying they were catching rebels!"

  "What?! Li Yuanba, what's going on here?! I never thought you were this kind of person!"

  Li Yuanba didn't care about Du Lingyue either, his voice was even louder than Du Lingyue's, shaking the trees in the courtyard to tremble: "Bastard! Dare to catch my guest? Can't live with it!" Li Yuanba was so anxious that he didn't even recognize his second brother...
